Why are Test Fans so insecure?

Every test match that goes into the last session creates a nice circlejerk of T20 bashing and Test match glorification.

If you need to repeat it every time, then you are really trying to mask real insecurities stemming from reality

You're right. Tests ARE better, especially ones like this!

You're right, of course. The FIRST session of most tests is better
than most T20s.

Yep, was a fantastic match and could never possibly be matched by T20 in a
million years.  Thanks for asking.

It was the headline (first, I should say) sports report in one of the main news programs here in Oz. That speaks volumes.

Comparing the different formats is akin to comparing football codes,
pointless and negative. There is a place for all.

We must live in very different worlds, as that very argument is had each and every weekend in Aus, in probably every pub.

These are wonderful things to discuss... until someone tries to get objective on your ass!

And if every time a Test has an exciting finish you need to imply that
T20s are better, perhaps you aren't feeling so secure yourself?

NIce troll. Only one I see mentioning T20 at all here is you. I'm sorry your circle consists of a personal reach-around, but after matches like that, we Test fans have no problems getting laid.

Oh, be fair to the poor little fellow. Geoff Boycott is quoted as
saying, "It was very dramatic and had everybody on the edge of their
seats all of the time. It was a great advert for the game. You can't
tell me that Twenty20 cricket is better than that." And it's a
well-known fact that everybody in rsc regards Sir Geoffrey as the
wisest oracle on Earth.

Cheers,

Mike

Giving Geoff Boycott's and Richie Benaud's examples aren't going to help your case.

If you are emotionally invested in the outcome of random event, everything is exciting. Curling, Dropping a Ball on New Years Eve, Soap Operas, Drawing lotto numbers are all exciting events if you are emotionally invested

Gilly's Danda -- Test match is a crutch man. If you want to get a women e***d, you can just take her on a scary roller-coaster ride or toss a coin or use the 8-ball. You don't have to wait once-in-a-year fifth-day-final-session cricket or New Year's Eve or Obama's (re)election to do that.

But I was defending you! GD said you were the only one talking about
T20, and I showed that there were others. I thought that it would
comfort you to know that you aren't the only blithering idiot on the
planet. After all, we know from your previous insightful analyses that
the only reason NZ didn't win is that they failed to push on for the
750 which would have made the win a certainty.

Cheers,

Mike
